[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]516,000 yanks visit NZ every year.

This is unfortunate but Kiwis are not going to judge half a million people by this one asshat.

Nothing wrong with hearing 'drive on the left' a few times a day. [/quote]

OP here. The vast majority of those 500k visitors are cruise passengers who do not drive. I just thought this news item that is trending here in NZ should follow this guy home. He should be able to escape this story by flying home. [/quote]

Do you know him or something? The vibe of this shaming is so personal. (And yes this dude was wrong duh)[/quote]

No, but do you think someone should be able to commit a crime in a foreign country and then run home like nothing ever happened without being called on it!”?[/quote]

NP - I mean, yes?  He didn't kill anyone, he didn't hurt anyone, and is prepared to make restitution for the property damage.  At best, he drove like an idiot; at worst, he was drinking and driving.  It's clearly not good, but this wouldn't even have made the papers if it had happened here. But you seem intent on visiting transcontinental shame on this man, and giving this story more play than it would have had if it happened here.  I agree with PP - it seems like you have a personal axe to grind.  [/quote]
